Without seeing the data, I'm just going to speculate on a few things.
Re: manual price. Check the date of the manually entered price. Is it
a future date? Are daily prices being automatically entered? If not,
then the last manual entry would be the most recent.
Re: rounding error. Perhaps transactions and summary numbers have
different accuracies, ie different number of places to the right of a
decimal
place, either in the price or the quantity of funds.
